Baked Cheesecakes

Hi
does someone have a good recipe for a baked cheesecake (i.e. not the "stick-some-Philadelphia-on-top-of-mashed-up-biscuits-and-stick-in-fridge" type)?
Lime would be good.
Total disregard for health or calories mind.

PS if possible, with convertible measurements (cups I can do, once sticks are mentioned, I'm lost) Ta

you might want to PM potterstreet. she's probably got 10-15 of them (recipes that is. she's a damn good cook).

I have one at home if you can wait.

She was quicker than you bb - she's pm'd me already!
Usually I just go to Muffins and More (Volkartstr.) as their Laporaig whisky cheesecake is quite frankly not *jugendfrei*, but I fancied having a go.

post it! Now!

true, she is quite fast...

i can vouch for all the recipes below as i have made them each at least once.

here's a great traditional new york style cheescake.

this toffee caramel crunch cheesecake had them begging for more when i made it this winter.

bourbon pumpkin cheesecake is great at thanksgiving, and during autumn.

lemon ginger cheesecake is nice at this time of year.

thanks bb for the compliment! not the fast part, though you do have a point there!

lemon and gingerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm printing these off as I tap.
Now, these cream cheese packages, did you use Philadelphia? Or would mascapone or ricotta or something else?

philadelphia only choice, unless recipe specifies otherwise.

am salivating at moment, by the way! for me recipe reading is like looking at porn.

That's how EBay is for me!!

Took the words right out of my mouth!

i have it going for ebay too, no worries on that front. but food porn is really really good.
edit: ps, IPJ, i think we all know your love of ebay !!!

I'm sure a few guys out there would beg to differ or at least say it's not as satisfying and makes them feel just as guilty afterwards.

Never feel guilty over food porn or bike porn or even porn porn, but there have been a few slices of cheesecake that I have left untouched, to my regret.

All in my past.

OMG you people are KILLING me talking about cheesecake when I haven't eaten lunch yet...mmmm oh how I miss a good (and by good I mean one that has sugar in it) cheesecake.

So just curious where you got the graham crackers...? I have not found any here yet...

blimeyg, i have used ginger biscuits that i bought in the uk, and some others gotten here but god only knows what they were or where i got them.

Karl has Graham Crackers in his G&A Grocery Store Schmankerlnische. MAybe you should call though before going to see if he's not run out.

best cheesecake i have ever had (other than what my nan used to make) is at kilians!

@Katrina: A New York style cheesecake is an ideal moving to Neuhausen present

hahhahahaha wee mun
you can buy it a mere 75 meters from your flat!
a whole shop of it
and bagels and muffins and 45 types of whisky in muffins and more, volkartstr. (i.e. virtually opposite Pardi's, but it is 2-3€ a big slice )
and I have 2 (packs of) ginger nuts at home
the little asian store in Leonrodstr. (top of Frundsbergstr.) sells them (and PG Tips, Marmite, Pataks...)
for mcvitie's digestives, go to Hertie at HBF
does lime and ginger go together? it does doesn't it?

yeah, lime and ginger sounds great too. you tweaking recipe a bit?

well the new york cheesecake does say ok to ginger snaps
and I thought I'd put zest of lime in instead of the orange
what do you think?
it say 5 8oz packages = 5 x 225g packs, right?
GOD BLESS DELIA!

looks great. i have become a huge delia fan this past year, especially loved that drunken cheering on of norwich by her!

let us know how it tastes.

I want editor Bob to ban all threads that can make you hungry !

Yeah but you have access to the cake in question

Not right now though ! And besides it's only one cake. I think I'll pop out for a pizza or three. The drool is affecting my keyboard.

potterstreet's recipe has written at the bottom: "Cheesecake keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks"
yeah right

that only applies if you happen to be going on vacation for 2 weeks right after you make it, and neglect to put it in your suitcase...

anyone that can keep a cheesecake for two weeks doesn't deserve to have one. FACT.

Two hours is really pushing it.

Well the New York Cheesecake tasted lovely. Unfortunately it fell over in my fridge which is why only me and Mr Bigfoot got to taste it...
Did have trouble with the stick business (this butter measurement doesn't make sense to me and I got confused between measurements) so the base was a bit too buttery and the cheesy bit needed longer in my oven but the sugar content and taste were spot-on.
Many thanks to potterstreet for the recipe (and yes, I'll have another go soon and some of you might even be so lucky to get some next time!)

for the future, here's a nifty butter conversion link, which i use all the time!

but the question that begs to be asked is how the hell it fell over in your fridge?

It has been suggested that someone's *big foot* booted the fridge so it fell over (so that they could have it all to themselves) but that would be just a rumour...
*whistles*

Hi Katrina,
Are you looking for cheesecakes made with Philadelphia or Mascapone?
I have recipes for both but will have to get them sent over from UK!
Rus

Either or, Rus! I like both and UK measurements would be helpful

Ok No Worries
However although Graham Crackers are good I would suggest Hob Nobs as the base
Rus

@Katharina

Oh Mistress of Knowledge, Fembotest Being, I call on thee to share with me! Where can I purchase ginger cookies?

These? Well I can think of a few places - I tend to buy mine at the little Asia/Thai shop in Leonrodstr. Neuhausen as it is 75m from my flat
A lot of the Asian/Thai shops stock them, those and no other biccy. hmmm
Also worth a look is the Indian shop in Hauptbahnhof opposite Hertie foodhall entrance. They also have Digestives and light and dark chocolate HobNobs.
The first shop I mentioned used to (and doesn't now) stock

so I'm looking for a supplier coz they are my faves.
Hertie does Walker's Stem Ginger Shortbread as well (the gent formerly known as Herr Indoors' mum loves ginger so I would buy any biscuit with it in for her)

Ah, Indian stores! Never looked for cookies in an Indian store. Thanks!
